I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 174 Yuan Jiujiu cares about the common people

For Yuan Wei, if the desire for change was not so obvious today, he would have supported the Holy Emperor as firmly as Yang Xu and others.

It's a pity no.

Some things can't be weighed even if they weigh four ounces, and they can't be weighed even if they weigh a thousand kilograms.

Even with Yuan Wei's cultivation, he could not help but complain - "This Tian Yuanhao really doesn't know what's important!"

"Why are there no problems for other Shi Yushi to inspect the place, but you, Tian Yuanhao, have no problem wherever you go..." However, Yuan Wei could only complain about this when he was alone.

Yuan Wei knew very well that such harsh taxes would be impossible without the indulgence of local officials and wealthy families.

As long as Guizhou people can survive, they will not easily sell their land, children or daughters. But in this way, how can the rich family’s acres increase? How to increase the number of slaves?

The reason why he knew so clearly was because the Yuan family followed this practice in Runan.

Bad things are done by petty officials, and good things are done by Mr. Yuan. Qianshou can't survive? Take them as slaves, take them as tenants if there is no shortage of slaves, and occasionally distribute food to the leaders of Guizhou. Wouldn't a good reputation come from this?

Yuan Wei knew that this matter must not be expanded.

A major matter has been reduced to a trivial matter, and the emperor must not be allowed to delve into it.

……

After leaving office that day, Yuan Wei discussed the matter with his nephew. To his surprise, he found that Yuan Shu expressed a vague unwillingness to participate.

Yuan Shu benefited a lot from the great rule of Henan.

How badly he was scolded when the problem of village officials was first revealed, now he is so flattered.

Don't pick up lost things on the road, don't close your door at night.

When this kind of scene described by the sage appeared under Yuan Shu's rule, even if it was just around Luoyang, he knew that he must have a place among the capable ministers and officials of the Guangxi Dynasty in the history books.

And his residence has become an almost must-visit spot for celebrities traveling to and from Luoyang.

Yuan Shu enjoyed it, and even in order to prove and highlight his contribution, he spared no effort to rectify the officialdom, and several surrounding counties also had a vague scene of Luoyang.

You must know that not all celebrities have farm slaves, and there are many who advocate simplicity and practice.

Yuan Shu is pursuing to become a virtuous minister who will leave a name in history, so why would he want to make trouble for nothing?

"It doesn't matter if you lie to me on the highway, don't even lie to yourself!"

Yuan Wei really didn't want to be tolerant anymore. As the children grew older, each one had their own ideas.

"Do you really not know how to govern Luoyang? Is that your credit?"

"Ben Chu didn't listen to my advice before, what happens now?"

Yuan Shu was originally very angry. Henan Dazhi, Guan Yu and Taisheng had nine points of credit.

Isn’t it Yuan Shu’s ninety-one percent contribution?

For nearly a year, he has cared about the people every day. Is this a lie?

Yuan Shu was about to retort when he suddenly heard Yuan Wei mention Yuan Shao and almost stopped.

How can Yuan Shao, the son of a servant girl, be compared with him?

Look, now the true colors are revealed.

The longer Yuan Shao left, the happier Yuan Shu became.

Yuan Wei became even more angry when he saw Yuan Shu's uncontrollable expression. He pointed at Yuan Shu and reprimanded: "As an uncle, I will teach you a lesson for your father today!"

As he said this, he took out a short ruler from somewhere and started to educate her about love.

Yuan Ji, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly grabbed Yuan Wei to plead for Yuan Shu: "Uncle, the highway is also to realize his ambition..."

While signaling Yuan Shu to run quickly.

Yuan Shu was not someone who was waiting to be beaten. Seeing this, he quickly handed over his hands and asked Yuan Wei to resign: "Shu, please leave. Come back another day to listen to your uncle's teachings!"

After that, he raised his hand towards Yuan Ji again and ran away without looking back. Seeing that his son Yuan Yin was ready to say a few good words for Yuan Shu, Yuan Wei raised the short ruler in his hand and cursed: "Shu Zi, do you also have ambitions for the road? Get out! Get out of here too!"

Under Yuan Wei's scolding, Yuan Yin followed Yuan Shu and left angrily.

Before leaving the mansion, he met a clerk from Situ Mansion who showed his kindness to him. Yuan Yin didn't show any kindness either, and finally caught up with Yuan Shu before Yuan Shu got on the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Yuan Yin's children were no longer young, but they still held Yuan Shu's hand and cried.

Yuan Shu was still angry with Yuan Wei. When he saw this, he guessed the reason without Yuan Yin having to tell him. He had to take a few breaths and comfort Yuan Yin.

"Cherence, since uncle doesn't believe that we can do something great, you and I should make some achievements and tell uncle that he is wrong about my two brothers!"

"Don't cry! Go back and clean up. Tomorrow you will patrol the counties in Henan for me!"

Yuan Yin, who was originally unwilling to do such hard work, suddenly felt motivated. He wiped away his tears in a few times, took Yuan Shu's hand, and promised: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let brother." Disappointed!"

In his heart, he was imagining the scene where he would become famous in the future and Yuan Wei would admit his mistake to him.

……

On the other side, after the two left, Yuan Wei was no longer as angry as he was originally.

Yuan Ji consoled him: "I hope Gongdao and Chengxu can understand my uncle's painstaking efforts."

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Ji and said with emotion: "My Yuan family has a successor!"

He was indeed following the trend.

Going against the emperor, even for a young emperor, is a risky decision.

Because the emperor is qualified to overturn the table.

Emperor Xian ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and in less than a year he was able to cause the disaster of the party's imprisonment.

With his current ability, Yuan Wei has no doubt that if the emperor targets the Yuan family regardless of the consequences, the Yuan family will never be able to resist it, even if they have the reputation of being the fourth generation and the third Duke and having disciples and former officials all over the country.

But looking at the trend of the emperor's reform, Yuan Wei couldn't see that now it was the powerful and the petty officials, but one day it would be the turn of the powerful.

After all, he also knew how many farm slaves the Yuan family had in Runan.

Fortunately, the Yuan family is not the only wealthy family in the world!

The bad thing is that the Yuan family in Runan is too conspicuous. If something goes wrong, they will definitely bear the brunt.

Even after stopping the emperor, the Yuan family may be jealous. At that time, the world's wealthy families will ignore the matter and ignore it.

After all, the wealthy families who are representatives of their respective regions are never as harmonious as they appear on the surface.

Yuan Wei needed to leave a way out for the Yuan family.

There is no doubt that Yuan Shu, who is responsible for the well-being of the people under his rule, is the best candidate.

"When did you see it?" Yuan Wei asked.

Yuan Ji replied: "When my uncle drove Cheng Xu away."

Yuan Wei smiled bitterly and sighed: "I am getting old and my heart has softened after all..."

Yuan Ji consoled him: "Chengxu has always been on good terms with the highway and will not arouse any suspicion."

After hearing this, Yuan Wei patted Yuan Ji on the shoulder: "I'm sorry for you!"

Yuan Ji shook his head, his eyes firm.

"Uncle, if your Majesty's move to rectify the administration of officials continues, it will only make the world uneasy and increase rebellion. This matter should be stopped to bring peace to the world!"

At the end of March, the outer house of Yongmen Gate in Luoyang self-destructed for no apparent reason.
